- "No citizens or buildings were harmed by the unidentified starship, although it was reported that a scared youngling dropped his beebleberry ice cream and was inconsolable."
- ―The Daily Millennium news report
A human youngling with light skin and light hair was present on Coruscant,[1] the Core Worlds city-planet that was the capital of the Galactic Republic,[2] at one point around 178 BBY.[3] He wore a jacket and pants as well as a pair of lighter-colored boots. Each sleeve of his jacket also featured a lighter-toned element.[1]
During the early hours of one Hexaday, while the youngling was having a beebleberry ice cream, he and other people on Coruscant were startled by the starship Tchagra of the Jedi Order, which was being piloted by a group of Jedi apprentices on a mission to rescue the kidnapped brother of apprentice Christina Starspeeder, Victor. As the inexperienced apprentices fought to control the starship during its take-off, the vessel careened through the planet's skies, scaring the youngling and causing him to drop his ice cream. The youngling began crying, with a news report by The Daily Millennium covering the incident noting that the child had become "inconsolable."[1]
Behind the scenes
The human youngling appeared in At Last, Jedi, the 2020 ninth entry in the Star Wars: Jedi Academy non-canon young-reader book series. The book was written by Jarrett J. Krosoczka and Amy Ignatow.[1]
